Deal | 2022 Legion 5 Gen 7 with AMD Ryzen 7 6800H and RTX 3060 discounted by a sizeable US$710 at Lenovo's official store

Lenovo’s Legion series of gaming laptops are a tier above the IdeaPad gaming notebooks that cater more towards the budget-conscious buyers. Therefore, the Legion devices can cost quite a bit more than the IdeaPad gaming machines. Fortunately, you can now get a 2022 Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 7 with a Ryzen 7 6800H CPU, an RTX 3060 (140 W), 16 GB of RAM, and a whopping 2 TB of storage for US$710 off the list price straight from Lenovo.

Courtesy of slickdeals, you can get the final discounted price by using coupon code GREETINGS10 at checkout. The coupon code nets you an additional US$50 off on top of the US$660 that Lenovo is offering, bringing the total price down from an eye-watering US$1,909.99 to a more palatable US$1,200.

Now the question becomes, how does the laptop hold up in testing? According to LaptopMedia’s review of the Legion 5 Gen 7, the notebook is built well, has an excellent keyboard, and offers plenty of CPU/GPU performance. For instance, the Ryzen 7 6800H on the Legion 5 Gen 7 scored 14,323 points in Cinebench R23 while the 140 W RTX 3060 managed a 3DMark Time Spy score of over 9,000.

When it comes to gaming performance, the Legion 5 Gen 7 doesn’t disappoint. The notebook pushed out 83 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider at FHD/Highest settings. Similarly, the GPU cranked out 64 fps and 76 fps in Ghost Recon Wildlands and Borderlands 3 respectively.

Finally, even with high-performing internals, the 80 Wh battery inside the Legion 5 Gen 7 kept the laptop going for more than 15 hours in LaptopMedia’s web surfing test. One thing to note here, LaptopMedia reviewed the version with a QHD display while the SKU on sale has an FHD resolution meaning you may see better battery life thanks to the lower resolution panel.
